The b*tch of loving musical theater (with Bridger Winegar) Bridger Winegar joins the podcast to discuss deeply-held opinions on musical theater.

EPISODE 347

When it comes to musical theater, everyone has an opinion. And Bridger Winegar, host of the very funny podcast I Said No Gifts!, is no exception. In the paradoxical tradition of Bridger's podcast, Charlie and Nate have brought a series of gifts in the form of a sonic smorgasbord: a tour through musical theater's finest offerings, from Les Miserables to Spring Awakening.

Check out Bridger's podcast I Said No Gifts! here.
